Hayward, CA – May 17, 2017 –

Century Roof & Solar, Inc., of Hayward, California, has received the most prestigious contractor award GAF offers: The GAF President’s Club Award. This highly coveted award recognizes Century Roof & Solar as one of the “elite of the elite” residential roofing contractors in the United States.

GAF is North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, and only GAF Master Elite(R) Contractors can compete for its residential President’s Club Award. To qualify for this award, a residential roofing contractor must demonstrate an exceptional level of excellence in their business, especially in the areas of Installation Excellence, Consumer Protection, and Installer Training.

Century Roof & Solar has been a GAF Master Elite(R) Contractor since 1999; the company received the President’s Club Award due to its excellent performance in 2016. To become a Master Elite(R) Contractor–a status that less than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide are able to achieve–a candidate must meet specific criteria in at least one out of three different pathways: the Performance pathway, where contractors focus on giving their property owners the best possible service, quality, and protection; the Reliability pathway, where the contractor has a long history of offering their customers the best quality and protection; and the Service pathway, where contractors consistently offer their customers the best protection available in the marketplace.

Few contractors can replace or repair a roof while simultaneously stating: “We are committed to helping you reduce or eliminate your electric bill forever.” Century Roof & Solar, a leading Bay Area roofing contractor and installer of photovoltaic solar roofing systems, has been able to make that claim since 1996.

The company specializes in installations of lightweight concrete roof tile systems and composition roof systems, as well as services in roof repairs, thermal-imaging leak detection, inspections, installation of skylights, tubular lights, and roof windows, and fabrication and installation of custom gutters and other sheet-metal applications. As both a roofing contractor and an electrical contractor, Century has extensive experience in building photovoltaic systems integrated into the roofing system, as well as repairing solar roofing tiles and roofs with solar panels.

“Whether a customer’s motivation is economical, environmental, or independence-related,” states company president Tony Diaz, “he or she can’t go wrong with a solar solution–and we are here to help. Our website incorporates a Solar Solution Center as an information headquarters to answer all of our customers’ solar-related questions. It outlines the components of a typical installation, how a photovoltaic cell produces energy, and much more.”

Century Roof & Solar offers factory-certified enhanced warranties and a 10-year workmanship warranty on every roof installation. A GAF Certified Green Roofer(TM), Century Roof & Solar is a member of the Western States Roofing Contractors Association. It is a Diamond Certified business and holds an A+ accreditation with the Better Business Bureau.

Using only quality roofing products from manufacturers with the highest standards, Century Roof & Solar continues to provide clean, reliable, and on-time results. “We believe one roof or solar installation job should create another through the networking of past satisfied customers,” concludes Diaz. “Our customers really drive our business. Because of that, we take care of even the smallest of their requests.”
